The Fureys - Down at the Red Rose Café lyrics
Your rating:
Oh, they come from the farms and the factories too And they all soon forget who they are The cares of the day are soon washed away As they sit at a stool by the bar The girl with green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirt Doesn't look like she works on the land The man on the end is a very good friend Of a man who sells cars second hand Down at the Red Rose Café in the harbor There by the port just outside Amsterdam Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter Everyone there is so happy to be there The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer They try and not speak about trade The poet won't write any verses tonight But he may sing a sweet serenade The great tarot man, the piano will play All the songs that you’re wanting to hear And the pretty young thing doesn’t know how to sing But the customers give her a cheer Down at the Red Rose Café in the harbor There by the port just outside Amsterdam Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter Everyone there is so happy to be there Outside in the real world the rage is still on It’s all gone a little bit mad Now in circles we go so it’s good to know Of a place where good times can be had So pull up a chair and forget about life It's a good thing to do now and then And if you like it here I have an idea Tomorrow we'll all meet again Down at the Red Rose Café in the harbor There by the port just outside Amsterdam Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter Everyone there is so happy to be there
